                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the support of Congress for the creation of a National 
      Hurricane Museum and Science Center in southwest Louisiana.

Whereas the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road District Board of 
        Commissioners has begun to create and develop a National Hurricane 
        Museum and Science Center in the southwest Louisiana area;
Whereas protecting, preserving, and showcasing the intrinsic qualities that make 
        Louisiana a one-of-a-kind experience is the mission of the Creole Nature 
        Trail All-American Road;
Whereas the horrific experience and the devastating long-term effects of 
        Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will play a major role in the history of the 
        United States;
Whereas a science center of this caliber will educate and motivate young and old 
        in the fields of meteorology, environmental science, sociology, 
        conservation, economics, history, communications, and engineering;
Whereas it is only appropriate that the effects of hurricanes and the rebuilding 
        efforts be captured in a comprehensive center such as a National 
        Hurricane Museum and Science Center to interpret the effects of 
        hurricanes in and outside of Louisiana; and
Whereas it is critical that the history of past hurricanes be preserved so that 
        all people in the United States can learn from this history: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress supports and encourages the creation of a National 
Hurricane Museum and Science Center in southwest Louisiana.
